the first quads were Hondas ATC's, these were adapted to 4 wheels when there was a safety issue concerning rolling over and serious accidents. after the initial recall and adaptation the frame was modified to become quad as we know now.
there are a few unmodified out there but care needs to be taken to stop rollover on corners

I seem to remember that they were banned after an American successfully sued the manufacturers after he ran over his own leg :oops: :lol: :lol:

This is, of course, probably an unfair slur on our Atlantic cousins.
I was wrong all last season, and, according to my e'mails I'm wrong this season. Still, while it is my fault no one else is getting the blame.

i gave a link on da link to the video of their racing. I wonder, is there official trike MX still exist. Or any irm still manufacture them. Seems like they are not popular theese days, why? I heard that trikes wit independent back wheels (like on buggy) are pritty stable.

in the UK they can only be bought and sold privately. Dealers are not allowed to trade them.

I had my 1st big off on one as a kid on a Honda 70cc jobbie - squatted me good and proper! Bloody things!

I always knew that 3 wheels were lethal! :lol:
